2015 Outcomes and Impact

In 2015, we did our utmost to fulfill our mission to serve brothers and sisters in foster care. We are proud to share some of those accomplishments of service.

SOS Children’s Villages Illinois celebrated an important milestone in 2015: 25 years of positively impacting Chicagoland children and families in need. In fact, 2015 marked a cumulative 63,591 days of service and 1,526,184 hours of care provided by the Agency since 1993.

Every year has been a new opportunity to make a life-changing difference for the children and communities SOS Children’s Villages Illinois impacts. We are grounded by a model of care with four important pillars that prioritize community.

The communities we serve in the Chicago area are deeply important to us. As we continue to foster these priceless relationships, we learn how to better serve our neighbors and the families and children within them.

We are proud to share some of our 2015 accomplishments, and look forward to continued success in 2016.
